Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Road safety regulations are strict on high-capacity roads like motorways and dual carriageways due to high traffic speeds. If a vehicle becomes immobilized, occupants are strictly prohibited from walking on the carriageway (roadway). A pedestrian on these roads faces extreme mortal danger. Occupants must exit the vehicle, if safe, on the side away from traffic and quickly move to a safe place off the roadway and hard shoulder (preferably behind the crash barrier). Flagging down other drivers by walking on the road is not permitted under any circumstances due to the danger involved.
